Hi there, new to the forum and a bit of a noob with many aspects of recording.
I purchased a Tascam 244 recently out of curiosity (heard some newly released music recorded with one and liked how it sounded). The item description stated the machine worked perfectly and was checked by a technician.
So I've been messing around with it today, going mostly by the manual and I read a couple of topics on this forum. But my recordings are turning out with a weird sort of phase effect/volume drop off. I haven't gotten my head around every function on the machine yet but I don't think it should sound like this.
I tried each input 1 - 4, tried several different sources (707, Yamaha CS1X, vinyl record) and also several tapes. The tapes were whatever I could find around the house... EMTEC CEII Chrome Extra 90, TDK AD-C60, AGFA Ferrocolour HD 60+6, TDK IEC I 90 (some were really old but the latter TDK was still sealed).
Anyway, I recorded a basic drum pattern from the 707 to listen to. I'm wondering if someone could tell me by ear if some part is failing. Or maybe I've overlooked something in my haste.
Thanks.
